'Smallville' star 'wants Green Arrow romance'

Smallville star Alaina Huffman has admitted that she wants her character Black Canary to get together with the Green Arrow (Justin Hartley).

While the heroic pair are romantically linked in the original DC comics, the Smallville version of Green Arrow / Oliver Queen is currently dating Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack).

"I think there's always a sort of underlying understanding that there's an attraction [between Black Canary and Oliver] but nothing's played out yet," Huffman told MTV. "They have about half a season left before the series is over, and I just think it's such a great story to tell."

She continued: "I'm hoping that I get a call, and they ask me back to tell a little bit of that story."

The former Stargate Universe actress also insisted that she would be keen to star in a spinoff series, following the conclusion of Smallville.

"I'd love to do that," she enthused. "Whether it's a Justice League spinoff... or I know a lot of fans are asking for a Star City spin-off about Green Arrow. I'd absolutely be interested if it was something they were putting together."
